Really interesting Sangiovese and petit Verdot blend. The petit Verdot allows this wine to be ageable. It seems close to its prime. Nice bottle nose. Garnet color from the petit Verdot. The petit Verdot also adds an astringent finish which cleans the palate. — 12 years ago

I've had 6 bottles of this. 1 was absurdly reduced, but was superb on the 3rd day. The other 5 were ethereal. Lasted for days, or sometimes, didn't last for an hour. Stunning example of what Sangiovese can be when its not over-cropped, over-ripe and over-oaked. I don't like most Sangiovese, it's no secret. Something about the creamy yogurt thing I get, and the opinion I have that Tuscany is the Napa of Italy. But this wine is real, raw, alive, unique. No oak. No additives. No bullshit. I love it. Umbrian Sangiovese fermented and aged in concrete. It changes and breathes. There's not much else like it. — 12 years ago
